Method and apparatus for transmitting data

1. A method for transmitting data, the method comprising: acquiring a Multicast and Broadcast Service Mapping Information Element (MBS_MAP_IE) carried in a DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the MBS_MAP_IE, wherein the MBS_MAP_IE carries a parameter for indicating a frame offset from a next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; setting a sleep duration according to the parameter for indicating frame offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; and acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in a next DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE when the sleep duration expires.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a symbol offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to a header of the frame comprising the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE; and wherein acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE comprises acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE according to the parameter for indicating the symbol offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the header of the frame comprising the next MBS_MAP_IE and the parameter for indicating the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in the MBS_MAP_IE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the MBS data; and wherein acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE and MBS data comprises acquiring the next MBS_MAP_IE and the MBS data during a listening duration; and wherein the listening duration is set as a sum of a time duration corresponding to the parameter for indicating the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a time duration corresponding to the parameter for indicating the length of the MBS data.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating that MBS resources can be acquired according to the MBS_MAP_IE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameter for indicating that the MBS resources can be acquired according to the MBS_MAP_IE comprises a parameter for indicating that the receiving position of the next MBS_MAP_IE needs to be indicated.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the parameter for indicating that the receiving position of the next MBS_MAP_IE needs to be indicated is a redefined parameter for indicating that the frame position of an MBS_MAP message needs to be indicated in the MBS_MAP_IE.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sleep duration is set as a sleep window.

8. An apparatus for transmitting data, the apparatus comprising: a first unit, configured to acquire a Multicast and Broadcast Service Mapping Information Element (MBS_MAP_IE) carried in a DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the MBS_MAP_IE, wherein the MBS_MAP_IE carries a parameter for indicating a frame offset from a next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; and a second unit, configured to set a sleep duration according to the parameter for indicating the frame offset from the next MBS_MAP_IE to the MBS_MAP_IE; wherein the first unit is further configured to acquire the next MBS_MAP_IE carried in a next DL_MAP message and MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE when the sleep duration expires.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the MBS_MAP_IE further carries a parameter for indicating a length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a parameter for indicating a length of the MBS data; wherein the second unit is further configured to set a sum of a time duration corresponding to the length of the next MBS_MAP_IE and a time duration corresponding to the length of the MBS data as a listening duration; and wherein the first unit is further configured to acquire the next MBS_MAP_IE and the MBS data corresponding to the next MBS_MAP_IE during the listening duration.
